Mediocre Tiffin Room - I had mini meals here. There was puri with no side dish and pulao with no raita. They do not give refills for anything (sambar, vegetables, kutu) even if you pay more. For the high price this felt like a let down. Can try once or twice if you get cravings for south indian food.

Finally managed to visit MTR. It's been 20 years since I last visited any MTR, so likely forgot the long lines, a no frills service (take it or leave it) that I was used to back then in blr. The taste buds struck the tune immediately. Closest to a blr eatery I have had in ages. I had not realized I had moved on from such benne feast. Wished wet tissues, a finger bowl or a restroom trip replaced the otherwise useless tissues on table. Portions were decently sized. First time a set dosa tasted like one with the palya, in the Seattle area. However the spongy set did leave a bit of dough uncooked in the middle and not enough palya to last the set. A refill request was met with a warning of a recharge fee. The set did irk me to knock a star off. So, barring the uncooked set and a bigger dent on your wallet, they have stuck to the true MTR. Likely it will not replace your frequent Darshini or take out. If you still feel photography is better with films, then you and me certainly belong here.

Too expensive for the quantity. Not 5/5 on the quality either. I understand there’s a long queue waiting outside everyday and there is a premium we pay on every item. But what’s delivered is not satisfactory.

Disappointed with the service. The quantity of sambar was very less and when asked to refill the server upfront said no we can’t refill you need to order. And by the time they could come and take the order I already had finished the dosa without sambar, their service is very very slow. I have never seen a restaurant charging for extra sambar even after spending so much. Poor Service and small food portions with high $$$.

The food was definitely good but it’s definitely not worth the time and money .We were 3 people, ordered 3 dishes as per our individual likings but they served those 3 dishes almost at the intervals of 15-15 mins so we ended up sharing 1dish and then wait for the next

10 on 10 for this place. Pure authentic south Indian taste. Coffee could have been better. Seating arrangements could have been better. Long waiting line can be reduced if people can book in advance.

OMG! Totally not what I expected (in the best way possible). Franchises rarely live up to the original but this one was really good.I tried the masale dose and the mini meal. The dose was so perfect that it made me nostalgic to Bengaluru doses like Taaza thindi, SLV (banashankari) etc and not just MTR.I would highly recommend for anyone craving Bengaluru dose.

Very Creepy Waiter with average Ghee food.I went to this restaurant after hearing a lot about the place. There was a small waiting but we got the table in 10 mins. First impression about the atmosphere is really authentic indian . Restaurant door have lion face brass decorations and front desk is also good.Now the waiter who was attending us was creepy. My friends and I realized that he was really very very creep smile which was not like welcoming smile. Once we ordered our food my friend actually realized that he was as taking our video (so shocking) from his phone. I would have given a benefit of doubt but his phone flash light was also ON and I guess creep did not realize.Food was OK. Its like a typical indian tiffin food. If you do not have any expectations of fancy food , you might like it.I have given 1 star for the service because rest if the servers were good.

We visited the newly opened Indian restaurant and had an extremely disappointing experience. Despite waiting in line for 40 minutes to be seated, the troubles didn’t end there. After finally being seated, we placed our order and waited patiently for 30 minutes, only to realize that our order had never even been sent to the kitchen. When we inquired about our food, the wait staff casually mentioned that our order had been mistakenly overlooked. After such a long wait, we were left with no choice but to leave the restaurant, deeply unsatisfied and hungry. This level of incompetence and disregard for customers’ time is unacceptable, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! It's been a while since I had such delicious Indian breakfast food. Bala Krishna, who took care of us, was incredibly patient, polite, and professional. The whole staff was welcoming and polite too. I’ll definitely come back to try more dishes. The ambience was nice, and the Rava Kesari was absolutely delicious!

The dosa for the masala dosa was so thick and not crispy at all. The sambar had no pieces of any vegetables at all. The potato masala was bland and lacked any salt.When we asked for extra masala, they brought it to us fridge cold. When we pointed it out, the server took it back and came back and said they warmed it on the pan so should be good now but then when you dug in, it was still fridge cold. Not to mention everything was DOUSED in ghee. Now I love ghee with my idlis and gunpowder masala but it was just oily beyond appetizing.Will literally never be coming here again or recommend anyone else to go here.

Food is ok if you are into this variation of south indian food. But if you expect normal dosa etc. you might be disappointed. For those who know what they are getting this is heaven.Food here is typically pricier than comparable restaurants in the areaAmbience is good. Service is good.
Good but it's expensive!
